Create More Archives

Create a new archive at time t1.

  1. Alter dbspaces D and E to read-only.
  2. Copy db.db to db.db1.
  3. Freeze D and E.
  4. Save db.db1 in an immutable form.
  5. Create new main dbspaces, for example, F and G.
  6. Continue to use the production system db.db.

To use the archived databases db.db0 or db.db1, or even both simultaneously, copy db.db0 and db.db1 to a working file and start a server. Create an archive and follow this procedure to create any number of archived versions of db.db.
